I am Dr. Prachi Patil and I am an aesthetic physician with experience of 13 years in medical aesthetics. We also run an academy for facial aesthetics where we teach aspiring doctors who are interested in becoming an aesthetician along with the current practice. We are located in Mumbai in Andheri East. We run a clinic by the name of Dr Prachi clinic pertaining to Skin Hair and Weight management. Today my topic is on non-surgical facelift with dermal fillers.

This is a 20 minutes procedure also known as the lunchtime procedure. What do we do in this? We have to understand that with facial ageing there is a volume loss, there is a loss on the medial part of the cheek, the lateral part of the cheek. Also with ageing, we realise that your triangle of beauty which is- we are broader on the top and narrow at the jawline. So with ageing, we become broader at the jawline and narrow at the upper part of the face.

So to maintain the facial contour you have to start an anti-ageing program from the age of 35. What can we do with dermal fillers? We can do a cheek augmentation, the mid cheek, the lateral cheek. we can get high cheekbones, we can get a well-defined jawline, we can make your chin with these fillers, nose reshaping, brow contouring and also overall facelift which is also called as a liquid facelift in the US. So these procedures are done in our OPD in clinic time which takes not more than 20-30 minutes.

The downtime is less, it's like one or two days so you can continue with your daily activities post procedure and the main important thing is it is safe and cost effective as compared to long-term surgical procedures. To know more about the procedure or to get a personal consultation please contact us through lybrate.com Thank You.

Like good health and youth, most of us take our locks for granted, until they're gone. For many people, a hair transplant can help bring back what looks like a full - or at least a fuller - head of hair. A hair transplant is a procedure in which a dermatological surgeon moves hair to a bald area of the head. The surgeon usually moves hair from the back or side of the head to the front or top of the head. Hair transplants typically occur in a medical office under local anesthesia. Receiving a hair transplant can improve your appearance and self-confidence.

Care Post Operation:
After the surgery, your scalp may be very tender. You may need to take pain medications for several days. You will be prescribed an antibiotic or an anti-inflammatory drug to take for several days. Most people are able to return to work 2 to 5 days after the operation. The treated area should be protected from the sun.

Your skin is basically one big organ that can be affected by what’s going on internally. From your head to your feet, there are many different skin problems that you should never ignore. They can seem mild and harmless, or severe and dangerous, but all of them are something to pay attention to. The next time you get the opportunity, you should really pay attention to your skin. It’s best to talk to your doctor to make sure skin problems are not getting out of control.

Liposuction is a common type of cosmetic surgery, which involves the removal of excess body fat. People with isolated fat deposits which are non responsive to diet and exercise, opt for Liposuction.

On the other hand, lipofilling, a relatively recent procedure which involves grafting the individual's own fat to the parts of the body that need filling. Liposuction is used to remove fat from various parts of the body. Lipofilling involves grafting the fats taken out by liposuction to the areas that require it. Both the procedures address the following areas:

The procedural differences
The basic difference between the two procedures can be seen in the two words itself. In the context of fat displacement, one involves suction while the other involves filling. Liposuction involves removal of the fat while lipofilling takes an extra step to allocate the fat to the required parts of the body. Lipofilling is popular for enhancing the Buttocks also. This procedure is well known as Brazilian Buttock Lift.

Reasons for utilizing these procedures
Both the procedures are opted for various reasons. Liposuction is used for reducing double cheeks, fat bulges, removing excess fats for improved sexual function or for rectifying body irregularities which cause difficulty in movement. On the other hand, lipofilling is used for breast augmentation, creating smoother contours in various parts of the body and for grafting additional muscle mass in more prominent parts of the body. The type of people likely to use it Liposuction in general would be opted by people with fat bulges while on the other hand lipofilling would be opted by people with contour deficits.
